Star SU Chamfer Hob Delivers Burr-Free Precision in Gear Manufacturing!
Star SU has introduced an advanced chamfer hob designed to enhance efficiency and accuracy in gear production. Engineered to create burr-free chamfers in a single, seamless process, the tool combines the functionality of a traditional hob with integrated chamfering capability—eliminating the need for secondary finishing operations. In high-precision gear manufacturing, burr formation and inconsistent chamfer quality can lead to assembly issues, noise, premature wear and additional processing time. The Star SU chamfer hob addresses these challenges by performing chamfering directly during the hobbing cycle. By integrating the two operations, manufacturers can streamline production, reduce tool changes and improve cycle times
